The history of the world has been
dotted along with the names Of tlose
who have possessed remarkable memo
ries. As far back as the remote
periods OF antiquity, we are told there
lived men who were famous for their
wonderful powers Of memory.
IL Is said by Themistocles, that he
could call by their name the people OF
Athens. which city then numbered
twenty thousand inhabitants.
George the Third. OF England,
though deficient in education. never
forgot a name once heard or q face

1t has been written Of the Bourbons
that they never forgot mans name,
nor his face. and this has been some
times considered as true sign Of then
royal natures.
Heudin was once invited with his SON,
TO genlleman's house TO give a private
seance, and as they went up the stairs
they passed the labrary door, which
was partially open. In that single
moment young Charles Houdon read
of the names of twelve volumes and
recognized the positions Of two busts.
The gentleman, during the seance,

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

To the end that revered custom may be
continued, | do hereby appoint Thursday,
the oath day of November, A. d. 1887, as a
day of public thanksgiving and praise to
Almighty God for his continued and num-
berless blessings and merces. And
hereby enjoin upon all the people of this
state that on that day they assemble in
their accustomed places of worship and
gather at the family altar, and there make
humble devout prayers and join in reverent
and grateful praise to our Heavenly Father.
Let us upon this occasion supplicate peace
and prosperity to state and nation-peace
without humiliation or loss of proper dignity
or self-respect, and prosperity based upon
a strict observance of that constitutional
declaration, " a firm adherence to justice,
moderation, temperance, industry and fru-
gality." And as the day approaches let
there be individual thought and inquiry as
to the wants and suiferings of the poor and
unfortunate among us, and make it the
time and occasion of ministering TO these
wants and alleviating such sufferings ac-
cording to our means and ability, that there
may be " no complaining in our streets"
Given under my hand and the seal of the
state in the executive chamber at Bran

An Anxious People.

The unfavorable reports Of the condi-
ton of the crown prince of Germany are
causing widespread concern in the EN-
pire and much apprehension in other
European countries. There is recur-
renee of the cancerous growth in the
princes throat, necessitating another
operation. Although hope of ultimate
recovery has not been abandoned, yet
the insidious character of the malady
makes the issue a doubtful one. The
Emperor William, now in his ninety-frst
year, is in very critical health and his
death may occur at any moment. The
crown prince, who will succeed to the
throne, is in his fifty-sixth year. He
has been reported as in favor of
reforms essentially opposed to the
Bismarckian policy, though it is as
serted that he has modified his views
recently and now favors the main
tenance of the present constitutional
system. But there is a profound con-
viction among the people that if he
should live to succeed the present en-
peror that Germany would have con-
tinued assurances of useful and peace
full reign. In case of the death of both
the emperor and the crown prince the
throne would pass to Prince Frederick
William, son of the crown prince, who
is said to be devotedly attached to the
aggressive policies of Bismarck and
whose tendencies are strongly divergent
from those of his father He is repre-
sented as military, warlike and ambi-
tious of conquest. The possibility of
his coming to the throne within short
time gives grave concern to the Ger
man people. Should events take this
shape, what would be the effect upon
the peace of Europe and the stability of
the German empire? Some are hope
full that there would be no permanent
disturbance of the internal and foreign
affairs of the empire, but others fear
that the results would be most I'M
fortunate for Germany and Europe.

The Tribune Enlarged.

The New York Weekly Tribune will 60
into the fight of the presidential campaign
greatly enlarged as per announcement in
another column. 1t will also have new
presses of the latest pattern and generally
appears TO be preparing for vigorous and
telling work during the coming year. There
is no more sound and instructive paper
printed in any of the large cities. The
Tribune eXcels especially in the discussion of
questions of general public interest, as for in
stance that of pensions 10 the Union volun-
teers, which is a topic of interest in every
part of the country, and TO which the Tribune
is giving great deal of space. We notice
that the Tribune gives the arguments for
service pension especial prominence. In re-
gard to all questions of national Importance
the Tribune is a republican textbook of great
authority and ability. If there was ever a
time in the history of the country when pa
triotic men need TO think upon national
topics that time is the next twelve months.
The surplus of revenue creates a situation
which calls for congressional action, and
the question must be disposed of in a way
to protect the interests of the working-men,
farmers, old soldiers and business men of
America, and the general cause of national
sobriety and morality. The Tribune gives
so much space TO these national discussions
aud is so full of suggestive thought that we
should be pleased to see the paper in the
hands of every thinking man during the
coming year. In selecting your newspaper
always stand by your friends-the paper
which advocates your interests. One of
the new premiums of the Tribune is its
" History of the United States and Pocket
Atlas of the World" unique, handsome
and valuable premium. Another one is a
" Presidential Pocket-knife." A most en-
tertaining one is its Book of Open-air
Sports"

Chicago, had been threatening a " social
revolution" Their speakers and jour
nails had openly counseled resistance
to law by means of violence and blood
shed. They claimed to have plenty Of
arms, bombs and dynamite. Finally
they called a meeting for the 4th of
May in Haymarket square, to which all
socialists were invited to come armed.
AS an outbreak was anticipated, strong
force of police was sent to preserve
order. 1t appearing that the speakers
were melting the mob to violence, the
police warned the meeting to disperse,
when dynamite bomb was thrown, by
the explosion of which seven policemen
were killed and forty persons badly
wounded. 1t had been previously
planned by the anarchists to throw
bomb into each police station and
shoot down the policemen. The law of
Illinois making those who conspire to
murder guilty as accessories before the
fact, if the murder is committed, seven
of the anarchist leaders were in due
time arraigned and tried for abetting
and advising the crime in Haymarket
square. OF the four who were hanged
August Spies was Hessian and editor
in-chief of the Arbeiter Zeit,uag, Albert
r. Parsons was Texan and presided
over the Alarm, George Engel was
archist and Adolph Fischer was Bava-
rian and head foreman of the Arbeiter
Zeitung. OF the committed men Michael
Schwab is Bavarian and was Spies
assistant editor, and Sam Fielden is an
Englishman and was volcanic agi-
tator. Lingg was the only one of the
eight men tried who was not connected
directly with the above-named papers.
There is little doubt expressed by
any save the anarchists and their SYM
pathizers that all of the condemned
men had fair trial and were Justly
convicted. The action of Governor
Oglesby in committing the sentences
of two of them cannot be wholly COM
mended, because there was apparently
no sound reason for it. His principal
reason was that Fielder and Schwab
had asked for executive clemency as
guilty men, while the others, though
equally guilty, had demanded freedom
as innocent men. 1t is probable that
the governor was considerably in
luenced by the opportunities of class
of people who, through cowardice, silly
sentimentality or mistaken sympathy,
had petitioned for mercy for the con-
demned men, and who may have
thought that executive clemency would
in some degree placate the vindictive
feelings of the anarchists and divert
them from executing their threats of
retaliation. The fact that good many
people of superior intelligence and of
refinement-like Mr.. Howells, the novel
list, and respectable business men in
Chicago and elsewhere-signed petitions
in behalf of the anarchist murderers
is one that cannot be viewed with COM
placency, for the assassins, as the
avowed enemies of society and the in
stigators of atrocious crimes, had no
rightful claim for public sympathy and
forbearance.
